Bison 5-9/16" Steel Fan Mega Duty Playground Basketball Hoop System PR76
The Bison 5-9/16" Mega Duty Steel Fan Playground Basketball System PR76 is a permanent fixed height outdoor basketball system built around the BA495 Dura Steel fan-shaped backboard and the only basketball goal in the industry carrying an unconditional lifetime replacement warranty. Bison describes the BA495 in their own words: steel and lots of it. The official size 39" x 54" fan-shaped steel backboard with 12 ga. skin, heavy-duty mounting support structure, graffiti-resistant white powder coat finish, and official orange border and shooter's square is paired with the BA39U Ultimate playground goal on a BA780 Mega-Duty 5-9/16" O.D. hot dip galvanized steel gooseneck pipe buried 48" into the ground with a fixed 72" safe play area. No height adjustment. A single fully specified configuration, ready to order.
BA495 Dura Steel Fan-Shaped Backboard: The Heaviest Backboard of Its Type
The defining component of the PR76 is the BA495 39" x 54" Dura Steel fan-shaped backboard, which Bison confirms in its own product language as the heaviest backboard of its type. The fan shape is the classic outdoor playground basketball backboard profile, narrowing toward the bottom and widening toward the top, a design with decades of proven use on public parks and outdoor courts across the United States. The BA495 is built from heavy-duty 12 ga. steel skin with a heavy-duty mounting support structure behind it, providing the structural rigidity that a permanently installed public playground backboard demands across years of daily outdoor use. The superior front mount design with standard 20" x 35" fan-type backboard mounting holes and a 5" x 5" goal mounting hole pattern delivers clean, stable installation and compatibility with the BA39U Ultimate goal included with the PR76. The graffiti-resistant white powder coat finish is specifically formulated to resist the surface marking and tagging that public outdoor courts accumulate across the life of a permanent installation. The official orange border and shooter's square are clearly defined on the white surface for visual targeting during play. The BA495 carries a 10-year limited warranty.
Fan Shape: The Classic Outdoor Playground Basketball Backboard
The fan-shaped backboard is not simply a visual choice. It is the recognized standard outdoor playground basketball backboard profile across public parks, school yards, and recreational courts in the United States, a design that has earned its place through decades of proven performance in exactly the environments the PR76 is built for. For courts where the fan shape is the specified backboard type, whether by facility standards, institutional procurement guidelines, or community expectations for how an outdoor basketball court should look and function, the BA495 on the PR76 is the correct specification. Bison's decision to describe the BA495 as the heaviest backboard of its type reflects the structural engineering behind the 12 ga. steel skin and heavy-duty mounting support structure that separate the BA495 from lighter fan-type backboards on competing systems.
BA39U Ultimate Goal: The Only Unconditional Lifetime Replacement Warranty on a Basketball Goal
Every PR76 ships with Bison's BA39U Ultimate playground goal, carrying what Bison confirms as the first and still the only unconditional lifetime replacement warranty on a basketball goal. The BA39U is purpose-built for the toughest playground applications with a double 5/8" solid steel rim, 3/16" x 1" No-Fail netlocks that add strength to the goal and eliminate netlock breakage, and a 3/16" thick box-style backplate and rim supports. The traditional orange powder coated finish is baked on for durability. A premium nylon net and high tensile strength mounting hardware are included standard. The BA39U also accepts optional chain nets for courts where nylon net replacement frequency is a maintenance concern. On a permanently installed outdoor court where the goal absorbs the daily cumulative impact of playground use across the life of the installation, an unconditional lifetime replacement warranty on the goal is the strongest assurance available in the outdoor basketball industry.
BA780 Mega-Duty Gooseneck Pipe: Hot Dip Galvanized, 48" Bury, 72" Safe Play Area
The PR76 is mounted on Bison's BA780 Mega-Duty 5-9/16" O.D. round steel gooseneck pipe with a hot dip galvanized coating. Hot dip galvanizing immerses the entire steel pipe in molten zinc, bonding a uniform protective layer to every surface inside and out. The result is long-term corrosion resistance specifically engineered for the outdoor exposure conditions of public parks, school yards, and recreational facilities where the system will be permanently installed across decades of weather and daily use. The pipe is buried a full 48" into the ground in a permanent concrete anchor, with heavy 1-5/8" backboard braces providing structural rigidity between the extension arm and the backboard mount. A fixed 72" safe play area provides meaningful player clearance between the gooseneck pole and the active playing zone for every session on the court. The BA780 pole structure carries a Lifetime limited warranty.
One Configuration, Clearly Specified
The PR76 is available in a single configuration: a BA495 39" x 54" Dura Steel fan-shaped backboard on the BA780 Mega-Duty 5-9/16" O.D. hot dip galvanized gooseneck pipe with a 72" safe play area, 48" in-ground bury, heavy 1-5/8" backboard braces, and BA39U Ultimate goal included standard. There are no backboard size, shape, or safe play area choices to navigate. If the fan-shaped steel backboard specification and the Mega Duty gooseneck platform are the right fit for your court, the PR76 is a fully specified, ready-to-order system.

Unconditional Lifetime Goal Warranty
BA780 Mega-Duty 5-9/16" O.D. hot dip galvanized gooseneck pipe with 72" safe play area and 48" in-ground bury. Heavy 1-5/8" backboard braces. BA495 39" x 54" Dura Steel fan-shaped backboard, heaviest of its type, 12 ga. skin, heavy-duty mounting support structure, graffiti-resistant white powder coat finish, official orange border and shooter's square (10-year limited warranty). BA39U Ultimate playground goal, double 5/8" solid steel rim, No-Fail netlocks, unconditional lifetime replacement warranty. Optional BA700PP pole padding available. 405 lbs. Ships by truck. Best for public parks, school yards, and outdoor recreational courts where a fan-shaped steel backboard is the specified or preferred backboard type and the Mega Duty hot dip galvanized gooseneck platform provides the structural foundation for a permanent outdoor installation.
Optional Pole Padding: BA700PP
The PR76 is available with optional BA700PP pole padding as an add-on at the time of purchase. For public playground courts with active daily use by players of all ages, pole padding protects players from direct contact with the gooseneck pipe during live play. Ordering the BA700PP at the time of purchase is significantly easier than sourcing and fitting it after the system is permanently installed in concrete.
Padding recommendation: For any public playground installation we strongly recommend adding the BA700PP pole padding to your order. Pole contact during live play is common on outdoor courts and padding is the simplest, most effective way to reduce that risk from day one of the installation.
Installation note: The PR76 requires a permanent concrete anchor with the 5-9/16" gooseneck pipe buried 48" below the playing surface. At 405 lbs, professional installation with appropriate excavation equipment is strongly recommended. The full 48" bury depth must be achieved in properly prepared concrete for the system to perform as specified.
Warranty
The BA780 pole structure carries a Lifetime limited warranty. The BA495 Dura Steel fan-shaped backboard carries a 10-year limited warranty. The BA39U Ultimate goal carries Bison's unconditional lifetime replacement warranty, the first and still the only warranty of its kind on a basketball goal. All limited warranties cover damage during normal and intended use as determined by Bison. The unconditional goal warranty removes the normal use limitation for the goal itself. Bison residential basketball equipment is not warranted for commercial or institutional use. For facilities where players pay an individual or group fee to use the equipment, Bison products carry no warranty except for obvious manufacturing defects. Vandalism damage is excluded from all Bison warranty coverage.
